Richard Meaghan

Date of birth 14.Oct.73
Place of birth Liverpool
Country of residence United Kingdom
Contact richardmeaghan@hotmail.co.uk

Richard Meaghan's paintings are invented and are an amalgamation of a number of differing experiences that revolve around memory, making use of allegorical and pictorial inventions and references from contemporary art and art history. Meaghan's narrations are not linear, but rather associative and analytical, so that the works function like short stories, in which the plot is compressed into single images. However, the fragments have to be pieced together and thus can seemingly fall somewhere between dream and reality. The resulting paintings appear as visions of somewhere familiar yet strange, uncanny shimmerings based on careful study of our world that in turn suggests another.
